I tried to enable hv-evmcs and "host" for the CPU, but the VM cannot be start of because of the error message "Hyper-V enlightened VMCS (hv-evmcs) requires Hyper-V virtual APIC (hv-vapic)". There is however not hv-apic option in the gui and this also cannot be set in the VM conf file.

apicv seems to be enabled in the system:

cat /sys/module/kvm_intel/parameters/enable_apicv
Result: Y

On page 33 of the presentation https://archive.fosdem.org/2019/sch...2860/vkuznets_fosdem2019_enlightening_kvm.pdf you can read, that there are two option hv_vapic and hv_evmcs:

"QEMU syntax: cpu ....,hv-vapic,hv-evmcs"

It seems that the problem is, that the option cannot be set in VM conf file in proxmox.

Any suggestions / solution?
